Who Run Our Government
Are Just Ordinary Folk
By GIIAKLEB I*. STEWART
Central Prana Staff Writer
Washington. March 23.7--N0 one who
does not come into contact day by
day with the institution called govern
ment in Washington can have any
idea of the extent to which blind luck
rules the destinies of the American
people- -and of course it is the same
with all the world’s peoples.
The popular conception is that some
sort of superior intelligence runs gov
ernments.
In fact, they are run t>y just as
ordinary folk as the remainder of us.
For example, during the last four
months congress has been discussing
a series of financial measures (partly
passed now; partly to be acted on
presently) in volving billions, with
which only the merest handful of
senators and representatives are one
whit more familiar than the average
citizen of Podunk or Four Corners or
any other way station.
When a blit Is introduced in the
senate or the house of representatives.
It is referred to its appropriate com
mittee, to consider (if the committee
has time and the inclination) and fin
ally to report on. recommending its
passage or rejection.
Now. most senators and many of the
representatives are members, each, of
several committees— six or seven,
some of them.
They also have their regular duties

chambers to attend to. At the present
session, with the parties in both
houses very evenly balanced (which
means that all available votes fre
quently are needed), these duties are
quite exacting.
Naturally, a lawmaker who is chair
man. maybe, of one important com
mittee and a member of half a dozen
others, besides having regular pro
ceedings to attend the better part of
five or six afternoons weekly, simply
cannot keep pace with all his commit
tee assignments. The result is that
many a committee with a full mem
bership of 18 or 20 never holds a meet

tually present.

This might not be so bad if legis

Bank Head Says Movement
To Restore Value Os Land
Is Essential To Recovery
Winston-Saem, March 23.—A return
to fundamentals will be necessary be
fore North Carolina can lift Itself
out of the present depression, was the
opinion expressed here today by Ro
bert M. Hanes, president of the North
Carolina Bankers’ association, in dis
cussing current official and semi-of
ficial efforts to restore normal busir
ness activity and to relieve unemploy
ment.
Mr. Hanes called attention to the
fact that land is the basis of all
values and land movement mug begin
if there U to be a revival of busi
ness activity.
'*l believe there are many people In
North Carolina who have funds await
ing investment, and just as -soon as'
these people begin tt> take advantage
of the low prices prevailing in real
estate and well selected real estate
mortgages. I am confident we will
quickly note an improvement in gen
eral business conditions and in the
unemployment situation.
“It is a well known fact that all
through this depression well selected
real estate mortgages have maintain
ed their values better than fcny other
type of scuriy. This is because land,
after all is one of. the fundamental
bases of all values. Practically every
citizen and every corporation of this
state is, either directly or indirectly,
affected by land vaues. and a revival
of these values will be itamediately
reflected in a tremendous increas in
the wealth of our state.
"In the final analysis, all products l
originate from land. Our real creative
workers are the farmer, the miner
and others who take products di
rectly from the soil. The rest of us
simply rework and rehandle these p»o
--ducts. When land, the source of the
products, declines in value, It Is quite
natural that business in general is ad
versely affseted.”
Mr. Hanes pointed out that the de
cline in land values began two or
three years before the decline in
stocks, bonds and commodities, and
that this condition was a forerunner
of the present depression in business.
"I am firmly convinced," continued
Mr. Hanes, "that land at prevailing
prices is a better investment than It
has ever been in the memory of the
present generation. Land has always
been a safe investment and certainly
it is now. Other values may disap
pear completely, but land is always
with us. The person who owns a farm
today finds that it yields him just as
and he lawmakers of their selec ith 1
are not among the absentees at stra
tegic committee meetings.
Billion-dollar financial bill£, such as
congress has been cjealing with lately,
aie Euhiected indeed, to a rrort gen
eral overhauling ■tjtan less "onsj.icu
ously important fofamirei*.
Still, financial legislation is highly
complicated. Only : experts understand
It. The rank-and-file of congressmen
understand jit: as little ns the rnnk
apd-file of outsider]. They have to.be
lieve what the experts tell them- and
tlje experts differ amr ng themselves.
Ftorthermor. there ore selfish inter
ests which have their preferences in
the blatter.of fiaaitchij legislation, also
and utodoubtde;y ;' hkjre/ t-Kdlf v rippkds
men in congress: { '. .V, ;V. ./.
The typical "man In'Jhe street". wilt
admit. I think-, that he would hardly
know how to vote intelligently on
any one of the billion-dollar bills con
gress has had before It recently. If he
were suddenly pitchforked Into the
senate or the house of representatives.
Neither (believe me) do nine-tenths
of the senators and representatives.

as much of the necessitie sos Ufa aa
It did five years ago. Farm products
may not sell for as much, but be can
still make a living on bis farm, and
not be numbered among the unem
ployed. The person who owns a city or
suburban home may not be able to
sell it for as much as he could a few
years ago. but to him and to his fam
ily it still yields juHt as much In com
fort and protection as it ever did.
"Prices for products of the soil seem
to have reached the lowest possible
point, and I confidently expect the /.
movement from now on to be upward. '
Every contributing cause appears to'
justify this viewpoint.
“It seems to me the best advice to
give uny one with funds to invest at-’
this time is to place them in well *
selected North Carolina real estate, or
real estate mortgages. 1 believe land. '
properly bought now, can be sold atj
a very handsome profit wilhiij the
next five years. There have always *
been in North Carolina who
haye said-we have reached the zenith
of our power and the limit of our
growth, but those who have really
achieved in the state have never be- j
lieved this, and do not today. North !
Carolina, with her climate, location,
natural resources and, best of all. In- ,
telligent, energetic, hard-working An
glo-Saxon citizenship, is bound to con-'
tinue her growth in population and ;
wealth; just as surely our real estate
will increase ~ also.
“In my opinion, this is the time to
‘bdy North Carolina,' and no one will
suffer more than be who trys to ‘sell
her short.' I believe now is the time
for any indivldau) who has funds for
investment to buy North Carolina real
estate, and, after taking into consid
eration his reasonable prospect sfor
income, to even assume & moderate
amount of indebtedness in making the
purchase. This certainly applies to the,
person who wants land as an invest-.*
ment, or who wants to own a farm,
city or suburban home."
MORE ARRESTS MADE

If the Highway Patrol were noOiing

of 20,806 arrests Instead of merely 934.
